Picture this:
You go to a well-established fast-food restaurant for a meal, where the prices of most meals have increased by 20-25% over the past few months. The restaurant has also just recently taken some of your favourite food items off the menu, and when you order something that should already be ready made, especially since it's dinner time and it's a FAST FOOD joint, you are asked to wait for it coz' it's not yet prepared (you also noticed that there is nothing much else on the racks ready for serving either). In addition to that, you find that the time taken for the people at the counter to serve everyone in line is significantly slower than it used to be. And when they do serve you the burger you ordered, right after you pick it up, all the shredded lettuce spills out back into the container.
Actually, I'm sure most of you don't have to picture it coz' you've probably experienced this yourself at this very well-established fast-food restaurant. Can you guess which one I'm talking about?

.Yes, my friends, I'm talking about non other than everyone's supposed favourite fast food joint... McDonald's!
C'mon dude, the price of a so-called Value Meal is now an average of RM10 (except if you go during lunch time, which is when the prices are lowered... but I don't how long this promotion will last). They took out my favourite Chicken Foldover from the menu, so now the only thing I really like there is the Spicy Chicken McDeluxe, French Fries and the Chocolate Sundae, which are all overpriced. And the last time I went there, the service was slow, it was dinner time but there was almost nothing on the racks to serve customers, and the burger I got was quite a mess.
Therefore, as of today Carol officially declares that McDonald's sucks, and if it were not for their Spicy Chicken McDeluxe lunch time offer, French Fries and Chocolate Sundaes, I would only eat there if I were dragged kicking and screaming.
Do you agree or not agree? I made a poll on the right just for fun (these Blogger gadgets are pretty cool!). Poll ends on 16th of May 09!
